THE UNITED VERDE MINES
Start Up Again Under the Control of Ex.
 Governor F, A. Tritle.

The statement already published in the CHAMPION that Ex-Governor Fri tie had secured lease on the United Verde mines was verified in an inter- view, which representative of this paper had with the governor, while on visit to Prescott this week and further particulars regarding the terms of the lease and the prospects of the property ascertained.
 The lease of the mines will run six teen months from the 18th of July last. Ex-Governor Tritle also pur- chased from the shareholders of the United Verde Company I63,4I5 shares of the stock by paying part in cash, the balance to be paid at inter- vals of four months the last payment to mature on the 18th day of Novem- Der, 1888, the same day that the lease expires. This purchase of the I63,- AIS shares, together with the 93,ooo shares already owned by him will make him the owner of as6,3I5 shares out of the full amount of stock, issued by the company, leaving the outsiders only the comparatively small number of 43,5Ss shares. By this arrange ment 1t will be seen that the governor is almost the sole owner and mana ger of one of the most valuable mln- ing properties in the United States.
 It will be recollected that these mines produced over one million dol lars ot copper, silver and gold by the use of only one water jacket furnace Tn the unprecedentedly short space oI fourteen months. The property, while still running, was closed down by the board of directors on Dec. I, 1884, with quite a considerable sum oi money In the treasury, owing to the low price of copper, the market price at that time being only nine cents per pound. Another reason was the high IrelghtS on transportation of bullion from the mines to Ash ForS, the nearest point on the A. & P. Rail. road and the heavy cost of bringing in coke to the mines by the same route.
 -l~ The increased facilities given by the new line of the Prescott x Arlzona Central Railroad and the consequent greatly reduced freight rates ou bott bullion and coke have been the in duCements for Governor Tritle'S get ting possession of this valuable prop erty. On Monday last, the Ist o August, he commenced turning ou lninerGl and the probabilities are tha under his energetic, but careful man agrment, it will be many years befor' the United Verde copper mines vii cease to yield large and valuable pro ducts of mineral.

The Missing Link to the Peralta Grant

The Missing Link to the Peralta Grant.
 The San Francisco Examiner has been hunting up the history of Reayis, of Peralta $ ant notorlety, and hls wife, whom he calls the Baroness ot the Colorados. The EHamiHsr says:
 There is a romantic story connected with the life of the baroness, waich was given to an E1aminer reporter by resident of Woodland, Yolo county, yesterday. "Abont twenty years ago" said he, "a traveller from Missouri named Treadwell, w ndered footsore aud hungry, into an Indian campooda few miles from Woodland. Here he found an Indian woman, with whom he lived and to whom was born d daughter. who received the somewhat poetic name of Sophia.
 "This little wait grew into good looking woman, having the ftatIreo and appearance of a daughter of Gas tile. She worksd acceptably in var ious Woodland homes as a maid of all work and was seemingly happy in her hubble and honorable vocation.
 "rhree years ago, or when she had arrived at the impressive age of I8 years, J. Addison Reavis crossed Ter path, and after a short wooing the pair were wed."
 Subsequent events, the residents oI Woodland claim, would prove the ob, ject Resvis had in marrying the girl, In short time the happy pair visited Madrid. According to the story ol the residents of Woodland 1t appears that Reavis married the girl simply ) for the purpose of getting some likely person to pass herself off as a inca descendant of Don Peralta. The triJ to Europe was successful. The rela tives of the dead Don and the Span ish authorities were influenced to giv, such credentials and documents al would establish without doubt th, title of the Baroness of the Cclora dos" to the Peralta grant.

The Mining Boom Advancing the Pros . poets of the CitY,-FIhGst',Ir People in Prescott, Preparations for a DoubI. Execution.

A representative of the CHAMPION, who made hyIug visit to Prescott; Ihl, week, Was pleased 10 ind the city steadily improving and business look Ing up. The healthy condition of the mining interests m the southern part ot YdvapaI county IS making its eff lectS felt And the reopenlng of the U .lled Verde mines this week, under the management of ex. Governor Fri. tie, IaS stlll further added to the con. ndenCe of Prescott's business men m the future prosperity of the place.
 Ex Governor Tritle IS a deservedly popular man. When he came to Prescott as governor of the territory, ne did not follow the example of most territorial governors, by starting Tn to feather his own nest, on the con traty he brought about $500, 1000 with him, which Ge proceeded to invest ill enterprises to develop the resourc eS of the country. There was nothing that promised to benefit the people ol Arzona that he would not give a helping hand to. Although he has sunk a great deal of money, hls faith lu our future has never been shaken, and every JoCy earnestly hopes that nis last venture will prove to be a great financial success.
 Chief Justice Wright, who has just returned from his former Missouri nome, bringing his family with him, has made himself very popular, both with the bar and the public since his arrival here, and he announces that ne intends to make Arizona his per mancnt home.
 Quite number of Flagstaff people are visiting Prescott, principally in connection with law and land office business. The DIvis habeas corpus case brought several down. Attorney Il. ]. Miller made very clever argu- ment for his client, on a purely tech ulcal point, but Judge O'Neill dId not see fit to order the release of the prisoner. A case before the Register of the land office is going on fol which w. E. Lockwood, James Loy, J. w. Gray, Nj. McCarty, 5. Black Ben Taylor, M, Casner and others are in attendance as principals and witnesses.
 The next excitement in town will be the Execution of the Clevenger murderers, Wilson and Johnson, which is fixed for next Friday and vii take place Tn the jail yard, where pre-. partaions have already commenced in the construction and arrangement oi the engine of death. Johnson, the colored man seems stolidly careless about his impending doom, but Vii son seems to feel his situation, tho close confinement and the irrevocablt fate before him has plainly affected him. The murder was so brutal anC unprovoked that there is very little, l any, sympathy felt for the doomed men. The execution will be private No one but the officials, medical mer and representatives of the press vii | be present.

 Captain Lawton's troop of cavalry arrived here on Thursday in fine con dition from St. Louis, where they spent two or three days in resting af ter the trip from Arizona. We believe this IS the first time that cavalry troops have moved as far as 2,5oc miles at one time and the fact thai they have been brought to Washing. ton without the loss of any of the horses by injury or sickness reflects credit on all Concerned.-Army and Navy formal.

ED. DEMOCRAT.
Would you please allow one of
the distracted, who often sees some
of the most stupendous questions
advanced for the dissection of my
fellow teachers in many parts of
this State space in your columns.
What must be the brain racking
condition of those who are the un-
fortunate proselytes that succumb
to such all penetrating questions
as one recently given in Hooking
Co.; which was as followes; "Name
and locate thejlargest city in the
U. s. of A., lying south of the North
Pole. Oh Great Caesar! What
must be the agitation of class of
applicants who are at the mercy
of such halOs reflected from the
Triumvirate of our county eXamin-
ers? Certain as huckle-berries
and crab-apples, the question
would have so confOund me that
the first town in my mind would
have been p. o. Ewing, O. and if
l had not got credit for that an
swer then / am gone coon-skin.
This august body may not always
shine with such specular bright
ness for at one time one of them
propOunds such an enormity in the
English language, that we fear
many of the Tyros in that class
may yet be attached with cerebral
fever; and here it is, zone day as
1 passed by yhat is called the Goat
Run school-house / saw the teacher
r. III. Gordon, out with the boys,
playing marbles The words in
Italics to be parsed and the SEN
tence diagramed:
Now here is the toughest piece of
all toughness and where to begin
to diagram F. M. Gordon on a
small piece of paper and parse the
the rest of the science is such a
riddle as would puzzle any Sphinx.
At another time there was a
skull cracker when one of this
same unity had the following: "In
what direction is London from the
North Pole or the North Pole from
London ?" Do not know which as
the TEST is not just before us; but
not wishing to mar the sensitive
ness of these humble servants and
not to murder the printer 1 shall
close wishing you all splendid sue
cess and plenty of good fun with
these cognizable puns, and place
one ut your disposal.
What is the greatest number of
lessons a teacher in the common
schools can hear successfully in a
day?
AS this is q question of very con-
siderable Importance and one that
certainly interests every patron of
our schools do very urgently ask
as many answers as can be obtain
ed and should like programe for
daily lessons from each who may
think 1t proper to make q suggest
ion to this query.
Still such queer queries beget
some of like nature and who can
give the answer to this, When is
it noon at the Norh Pole? Hoping
this query may have agood nights
rest, ] am Truly.
